NAME

rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_next — Returns one object at a time from an entry in the name service database;  used by client, server, or management applications

Synopsis

void rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_next(
rpc_ns_handle_t inquiry_context,
uuid_t ∗obj_uuid,
unsigned32 ∗status);

Parameters

Input

inquiry_context
Specifies a name service handle.  This handle is returned from the rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_begin() routine. 

Output

obj_uuidReturns an exported object UUID. 

statusReturns the status code from this routine.  This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not. 

Description

The rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_next() routine returns one of the object UUIDs exported to an entry in the name service database.  The entry_name parameter in the rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_begin() routine specified the entry. 

An application can view all of the exported object UUIDs by repeatedly calling the rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_next() routine.  When all the object UUIDs are viewed, this routine returns an rpc_s_no_more_members status.  The returned object UUIDs are unordered. 

The application supplies the memory for the object UUID returned in the obj_uuid parameter. 

After viewing the object UUIDs, the application must call the rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_done() routine to delete the inquiry context. 

The order in which rpc_ns_entry_object_inq_next() returns object UUIDs can be different for each viewing of an entry.  Therefore, the order in which an application receives object UUIDs can be different each time the application is run. 

Permissions Required

You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target name service entry). 

Return Values

No value is returned.
